Because it isn’t Carl.

Or Brogan.

Which reminds me:  Is Brogan a Brobdingnagian?  (who knows what that is?)

WHAT?

Thanks sonny! Now get off my lawn!?

@the-gipper said:

OK, so he was named after a guy named Baker Montgomery........now explain why mom and pop Montgomery would name their kid Baker.

Because it isn’t Carl.

@tour2ma said:

WHAT?

Dad was looking for a name in the Sports pages and Mom kept saying, "Baker... Baker..." while in labor.

Finally Dad said, "OK, if we make Reagan his middle name after Ronald Reagan."

Mom agreed...

She did get the name idea from one of two brothers, Bill and Baker Montgomery, with whom (I think) Dad played ball. Baker later was the huge tu fan...

I could only glean (I think) that his dad got it from the sports pages while she was delivering. I lost a lot of my hearing in Vietnam so I thought maybe others here could comment more clearly on what I found on youtube.

This seemed to be garbled.   It sounded like he said he was named after someone named Baker Montgomery, who was  big Texas Longhorn fan.  Is that what you heard?

I guess a good question is:   Why would a mother call her son "Baker"?  

Have you ever known anyone else with the first name of Baker?

The only one that comes close is that the Indians had a player once named Bake McBride.

Hope there aren't any Jews that sit towards that end. 

Hmm...never thought about that. 

Maybe just call it nothing but "Cleveland Browns Stadium".

@the-gipper said:

Kind a lame. How about the oven     ,,you know where we put on the heat. 

Jewish folks apparently don't bake.

Yeah, that would be a little awkward. 

Four and twenty rat birds baked in a pie?

@flyingfooldoug said:

Simple, call that end the Oven.

Isn't a "Bakers Dozen" actually 13 of something? 

Yes , but it sounds pretty cool , though

@canton-mike said:

Why have we only named ONE end zone?

Why not name the other too........maybe "The Bakery"??
